AGC NYS Construction Leadership Academy

Space is Limited!   AGC Members Only Program

Beginning its 27th year, the Associated General Contractors of New York State proudly present a program designed to assist the construction contractor member in developing future construction company managers and leaders. The Construction Leadership Academy of New York State (CLANYS – formerly Future Construction Leaders) program will help teach the issues involved in managing a construction business in New York State. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn, in a structured environment, what they might otherwise spend years learning from personal experience.

The Construction Leadership Academy of New York State will accept about 25 to 35 mid-career managers who have been identified by their companies as future company and AGC leaders. The group will meet several times throughout the year, both independently and in conjunction with other AGC events. Locations of the meetings will be spread across the state. Each meeting will last one or two days, and will combine instruction time with networking activities and social events.
